Hi there!

Would you care to cleanup this file so it can be pushed upstream into KDE SVN?

What I would like to see:

- name file qt4.xml
- use IncludeRules (see Kate documentation on Syntax files or http://kate-editor.org/article/writing_a_kate_highlighting_xml_file) to include C++, so no duplication is taking place
- only add qt specific keywords on top of that

=> would make the file lot smaller and simpler
=> changes in cpp.xml won't have to be ported to qt4.xml

If you have questions, contact me e.g. in IRC (milian on freenode, like in #kate).

It would be perfect if you added the (few) missing Qt3 QObjects/QWidgets so that the highlighting works for both Qt3 and Qt4.

AFAIK, only a few very common widgets like QSpinWidget, QHeader, QPopupMenu, and propably some others, won't get highlighted.

I think that in these times of transition, a syntax highlighting scheme for both Qt's would make everybody happy.
